# Hosted admin · Quickstart

Goal: with the hub we opened for you, connect a subscription, create an account for your first colleague, and have them open their first session. You only need a computer and a browser — no server of your own.

Below, replace `https://hub.example.com` with your hub's address (the one sent to you when it was opened).

## 1. Sign in to the hub

1. Open `https://hub.example.com/signin` in a browser.
2. Sign in the way you registered when the hub was opened: scan with WeChat, email, or GitHub.
3. After signing in you are in the console. The **Admin** group in the sidebar (Subscription pool, Service nodes & clients, Users…) is visible to admins only.

## 2. Install the client

Creating accounts and sending invites uses the `fleet` command. In a terminal on your own computer:

```sh
curl -fsSL https://hub.example.com/install | sh
```

When it is installed it opens `fleet` and asks you to sign in once (in a browser or by scanning with your phone, then choose **Confirm**).

## 3. Connect a subscription

Sessions use an AI subscription (Claude or ChatGPT): ours, or your own. The hub keeps the credentials for you and shares the quota out per person.

1. Open the **Subscription pool** page in the console. When you use the subscription we provide, it is already there from the day the hub was opened; to connect your own, add it as in [Subscriptions and quota](../admin/quota.md).
2. When you see the subscription and its 5-hour / 7-day quota, it is connected.
3. **Grant access**: a new user may use no subscription at all by default. After creating a colleague's account, open the **Users** page, choose them → subscription access, and pick "All subscriptions".

Add as many subscriptions as you have; when one is nearly out of quota, the hub moves on to the next.

## 4. Create an account for a colleague

The console's **Users** page → **Invite command**, or in a terminal:

```sh
fleet hub invite <their GitHub username>                  # make an invite
```

`fleet hub` needs your admin credential: after signing in to the hub in a browser, `export FLEET_HUB_SESSION=<value>` with the value of the `ccq_sess` cookie (details in the [Admin handbook](../admin/index.md)).

- An invite is valid for 7 days and can be used once; when it names a GitHub username, only that person can use it.
- When they sign in with the invite, the hub creates their account on a machine by itself — you do not create it separately.
- `fleet hub invite --list` shows every invite's state; `--revoke <id>` cancels one that has not been used.

Send them the install line it printed, which looks like:

```sh
curl -fsSL https://hub.example.com/i/<invite-code> | sh
```

From there they follow [Member · Quickstart](../member/quickstart.md).

## 5. Check that they got through

- They appear on the console's **Users** page, with subscription access granted.
- Their first session shows up in the console's session list.
